The petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed as unauthorized. See Baker v. State, 878 So.2d 1236 (Fla.2004).
Due to petitioner’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his repeated pro se filings attacking his judgment and sentence in Leon County Circuit Court case number 76-CF-435, this court issued an order directing petitioner to show cause why he should not be prohibited from future pro se filings. See State v. Spencer, 751 So.2d 47, 48 (Fla.1999). Petitioner’s *580response to the show cause order does not provide a legal basis to prohibit the imposition of sanctions.
As such, because petitioner’s continued and repeated attacks on his conviction and sentence have become an abuse of the legal process, we hold that he is barred from future pro se filings in this court concerning Leon County Circuit Court case number 76-CF-435. The Clerk of the Court is directed not to accept any future filings concerning this case unless they are filed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar. Petitioner is warned that any filings that violate the terms of this opinion may result in a referral to the appropriate institution for disciplinary procedures as provided in section 944.279, Florida Statutes (2015). See Fla. R. App. P. 9.410.
